Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Head of the Martial Sect!

Translator: 549690339

At the foot of the mountain gate, a multitude of figures have congregated. Among the crowd, there stands a large flag, with a striking ‘Lit character written on it.

The Li Family of Daqian!

One of the most powerful forces in the Daqian Kingdom, ranking among the top three with power comparable to the Purple Mist Sect.

Within the borders of Qian Country, the most powerful force is undoubtedly the royal family of Daqian.

Aside from the royal family, the Li Family and the Purple Mist Sect follow in power.

Among these three influential forces, the Li Family and the royal family of Daqian are mortal enemies, while the Purple Mist Sect remains neutral, with minimal interaction with both parties.

Although the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect is renowned for its Pill Refining, their martial arts prowess is still inferior to the three major forces.

Hence, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was smart. Before coming to the Pill Sect, they had already contacted the Li Family. If the situation turned awry, they would crush the jade slip and immediately notify the Li Family for help.

Of course, the Li Family wouldn’t make the trip for nothing, especially if they had to oppose the Purple Mist Sect. The Ten-thousand Medicine Sect had to pay a significant price for having a connection with them.

Regardless, the Li Family has come as promised, and they have arrived in force, bringing many experts from the family. It seemed they were prepared for a war with the Purple Mist Sect.

The disciples of the Pill Sect guarding the mountain gate turned pale white in fear and quickly used a jade slip to contact an elder to inform him of the situation.

Within the Pill Array, a Pill Sect elder received the report from the disciples at the mountain gate. His face immediately turned pale, and he quickly approached Gu Daofeng.

“Chief, the Li Family has indeed come, and there are many of them. It seems like they want to force their way into the Pill Sect’s mountain gate!” the man

said In a IOW voice to Gu Daoteng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Daofeng’s heart sank. He had not expected that the cunning old man had made arrangements with the Li Family ahead of time. Now, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.

The old man with the last name Gong saw the subtle change in Gu Daofeng’s face. Receiving the message from the Li Family, he burst out laughing.

“Chief Gu, our friends from the Li Family are here. Why don’t we go down the mountain to greet them?” The old man surnamed Gong joked.

The elders of the Pill Sect were greatly shocked. The arrival of the Li Family was extremely bad news. Things had escalated far beyond their control.

Currently, the conflict it seemed, wasn’t as simple as Fang Lin kicking Dugu Nian. It now had escalated to a contest between two of the strongest forces within the Qian Country.

The Li Family and the Purple Mist Sect hadn’t held any grudges before. But now that the Li Family had received benefits from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, they were already prepared for battle. Although they had not taken action yet, the threat was clearly evident.

If the Pill Sect dared to act against the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, then the Li Family wouldn’t be polite and would directly attack the Pill Sect.

But if they chose to step back and let the people of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect leave unscathed, then the Li Family would also retreat, avoiding any conflict with the Pill Sect.

It had become a problem of choice and dignity. If they truly gave in, that would be equivalent to showing weakness to the Li Family, which was not a good thing.

Gu Daofeng had already considered this key point when he heard that the Li Family had arrived, and he also began to hesitate.

He was merely the Chief of the Pill Sect, not the Purple Mist Sect Master. Although Gu Daofeng was a courageous and ambitious individual, he lacked position to make definite decisions on certain matters.

After all, the Pill Sect was not independent but a part of the Purple Mist Sect. The true person in control of everything was the Purple Mist Sect Master.

“What’s the matter? Is Brother Gu not even considering the Li Family? They have come from afar. They should at least be invited up for tea.” The old man surnamed Gong said when he saw that Gu Daofeng made no response.

His words angered Gu Daofeng. He became Chief not just because of his courage and ambition. Even though the present situation was highly unfavorable for the Pill Sect, he decided to stay firm.

“Humph! So what if it’s the Li Family? Today, your Ten-thousand Medicine Sect insist on provoking my Pill Sect and causing trouble on my sect’s territory. Not to mention the Li Family, even if the royal family of Daqian comes, they wouldn’t make my Pill Sect bow down!” Gu Daofeng said in a tone filled with resoluteness.

The person who was shocked now was the old man with the last name Gong. He had not expected that Gu Daofeng was so audacious, defiantly standing his ground.

The elders of the Pill Sect saw that Gu Daofeng had expressed his stance and felt reassured. They no longer felt uneasy, and their spirits soared.

The face of the old man with the last name Gong grew dark. Things had escalated more than he had expected. While he was a very powerful man, he knew he could handle Gu Daofeng alone. But, with so many elders of the Pill Sect present, their combined power could take him down in no time.

They would not even need the other elders to make a move. Just Gu Daofeng and Yan Zhengfeng working together could keep him in check.

Below the mountain gate, the Li Family had also received a message from the old man with the surname Gong. They were surprised to hear that Gu Daofeng had decided to stay firm.

“Ha, it seems they don’t take our Li Family seriously.” The older member leading the Li Family put away the Message Transmitting Jade Slip, a cold smile on his face.

Subsequently, the Li Family faced a massive crisis, and the Yang family rose to power, replaced the Li Family and became the royal family of Daqian. Their power was even stronger than that of the Li Family in the past.

Even though the Li Family had lost their royal status, they remained extremely prideful. In the entire Daqian Kingdom, even the royal family wasn’t regarded highly by the Li Family. There were often friction and conflict between them.

In the eyes of the Li Family, the Purple Mist Sect was merely a faction that no one dared to offend. When the Li Family’s forces invaded, the Purple Mist Sect should obediently release their hostages.

However, Gu Daofeng’s attitude surprised the Li Family, making them feel that he was looking down upon the Li Family. Everyone became extremely angry, calling out to attack the Pill Sect and kill their way into the Purple Mist Sect. The old Li man, as the leader of this expedition, considered for a moment and then shouted a command, prepared to order an attack on the mountain gate of the Pill Sect.

While this order was somewhat rash, they had after all received benefits from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect. If the old man with the surname Gong and the others faced accidents, they wouldn’t be able to receive the other half of the benefits that the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect promised.

But just as the Li Family, full of fury, prepared to attack the mountain gate, a black giant sword fell from the sky and inserted itself right before the mountain gate of the Pill Sect, blocking the path of the Li Family.

This black giant sword was as large as a door, emanating an overwhelming sense of terror. The dark red stains on it were evident proof of the many people it had killed.

The members of the Li Family were shocked and retreated one by one. The leading old man from the Li Family wore a serious expression and looked up, only to see a figure standing on the wide hilt of the black giant sword.

This person had long robes of black hair and wore a long black robe. He was tall and had a firm face, chiseled as if with a knife and axe, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Upon seeing this person, the pupils of the Li Family’s old man contracted: “The

Chief of Martial Sect…. Xing Tianxiao!”
